چکیده

In this report, we describe the step-by-step surgical technique of arthroscopic resection of a malunion of a posteromedial talus fracture to correct the impingement.

In this report, we present a rare case of an initially unrecognized fracture of the posteromedial process of the talus sustained in a seldom reported position of dorsiflexion and supination of the foot. Fractures of the posteromedial process of the talus are very rare and represent an important diagnostic problem. Difficult x-ray visualization makes these fractures often misdiagnosed as ankle s...
متن کاملTalus fractures: evaluation and treatment.
Fractures of the talus are uncommon. The relative infrequency of these injuries in part accounts for the lack of useful and objective data to guide treatment. The integrity of the talus is critical to normal function of the ankle, subtalar, and transverse tarsal joints. Injuries to the head, neck, or body of the talus can interfere with normal coupled motion of these joints and result in perman...
